Stole it from another part of DC is probably wrong. It may have changed the order in which development happened in DC, but the non Navy Yard parts of DC are still being developed.
DOT was supposed to stimulate private development. It didn't do too much. It is something of an inward facing structure, with a good cafeteria IIRC (have only been there for one meeting). I think you did get some of the M street office buildings for the beltway bandits working there and at the Navy Yard.
Well, isn't that part of the point? If it stole development from another part of the city, then it is kind of futile, but if it stole it from PG /Alex/MoCo/Arlington//Fairfax, then it has to be counted in favor of the DC.
I'm going to split off the development thread, put it in Red Loft, so maybe JD can weigh in.
